The Columbia River was famously explored by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark during their expedition from 1804 to 1806. Their journey was part of the larger Lewis and Clark Expedition, commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. Additionally, British explorer Robert Gray navigated the river in the late 1700s, becoming the first recorded European to enter the river and trade with local Indigenous tribes.
